I don't think it will be clear to average (ignorant) consumers that the Core 2 Duo is the successor to the Core Duo. How many other products put the version number in the middle of the name? Internet 8 Explorer? Play 3 Station?
If only Stargate had a budget like Galactica, then we would really see some great sci-fi. As it stands, we have to watch a show that must conserve their gate splash scenes to cut costs.
It still doesn't get any better than Sci-fi Friday.
I believe the following experience sums up most people's dealings with floppy drives:
I bought one for $10 in 2000 for a computer I was assembling. Over the course of three years, I probably used it less than a hundred times. One day, I really needed it for some video card BIOS flashing and found that it no longer functioned.
Was it my hundredth use that finally did the drive in? Or was it a result of not using it for long periods of time? I'm sure manufacturers don't worry too much about quality because they know I'll always be willing to fork over another $10.
The figures include free games that are accessed via portals such as Yahoo.
Am I the only one that thinks statistics on "gaming" should not include these types of free casual games. At the very least, there should be a separate statistic for games where some form of payment is required. I know a number of women who play these games but would not consider themselves "gamers."
What I meant was that the titles would continue to be released during the lifetime of the system. It's not like you're waiting a year for the one big game only to be disappointed (e.g. Windwaker). There's always another good title just over the horizon.
Sure playing old games is a feature but it shouldn't be one of the top selling points of the system. If you saw Nintendo's E3 presentation, there was barely even a mention of the Revolution because there's next to nothing to show.
Whenever people buy a Nintendo console, they're always telling me how great it will be to play old games. What is this obsession with buying clunky hardware just so you can stick a GBA game in your Gamecube and play it all over again.
The only other reason people buy a Nintendo is because of a few first-party titles. Give me a system with good first and third party titles that I can expect to play non-stop for a few years instead of one where I have to wait a year for the next Zelda or Mario to come out.
So when Lord/Master Jamie Reed is challenged by a fellow MP, what's he gonna do?
"Your sad devotion to that ancient religion has not helped you conjure up the [failed objective], or given you clairvoyance enough to [failed objective]"
I thought the Jedi were above petty squabling with governmental bodies. Is it because Jamie's not on the council?
It won't be "good" til about version 6.0.1300.2410 after everyone who uses IE has been infected with the hundreds of trojans that exploited it. Of course by then "fat pages" won't be cool anymore.
Train travel tends to be slightly cheaper than planes, but a whole lot safer and more convenient.
For visitors, it is definitely your cheapest option to travel by train because you can buy an all-purpose train pass to travel on any lines run by Japan Rail which is basically a monopoly. Even a cross-country train can generally be caught every hour while airplane schedules in Japan are far less convenient for most locations.

Honestly, would you ever have thought of that if it weren't for all the Wii jokes? I've never once snickered on mention of a PS/2 keyboard or the PSX.

Maybe people who have as cool a middle initial as X just like to show it off.
David X. Cohen comes to mind.

I don't think Saturn Ion is in common use. If it is, then God help us all.

Other than Saturn? The planet that Titan orbits. Or Jupiter? The planet implied by use of the word "Jovian".

Solar sails didn't work in Star Trek IV, why would they work now?
